A REBUFF FROM ROME.
A Petition of Grievances from German Cath
olics That Was Not Favorably Received.

'"Tne German Catholics" said a gentleman to
Journal reporter, are to have meeting Of
some kind in Chicago. in September The
buff given petition sent to Rome by German
Catholics some months ago should be borne in
mind. This petition originated in St Louis
among of the clergy and others there who
were joined by other persons in the West. 1t
sort of petition of grievances and under
nine different heads. They asked that German
parishes be given recognition for thing
that is parochial standing, where hitherto
they have in many had only
a kind of German chapel in parish. The petit
ton asked that permission De granted to estab-
lish seperate German parishes where the Ger
man language is spoken. They asked that in q
diocese where there German clergymen
there be German vicar-general They also
asked that where there is but one vicar-general
that he be man who understands the German
language. Now, in this diocese, with
Bishop Chatard, the Germans have all
these things. but il the other diocese
it seems they have not. The answer
this petition got from Rome must have
been hardly what was expected. Out of nine
questions in the petition but three were
answered afirmatively with the proviso If it
seem fit to the bishop. The answer from Rome
also contained very significant sentence which.
translated, meant we do not wish to receive
any more such petitions. The grievances,
whatever they were. should have been presented
to the council. Instead of doing this they took
a direct appeal TO Rome, which was discourteous
at least to the bishops"

Fattening Swine.
Live Stock Record.

We presume that every wide-awake
farmer has been pushing his swine for
fattening to the utmost during the warm
weather, as the cold weather will make
them shrink unless yon have the best of
proper shelter prepared where they can
not SILVER in the snow or wind. See that
your shelter is divided into apartments
where only six or eight hogs can pile to-
gether, as by this means they kill each
other and come out steaming hot to
catch cold and lay the foundation for
disease. This is one great cause or want
of thrift. So divide your feed that they
all may get their proper share. Never
throw corn down in a pile for hogs TO eat
or allow it to be done. If cold and windy,
select sheltered spot in which to feed
at that particular time, and at warm
hour of the day feed slop or water and
see that all get their share. Give your
hogs fresh beds at least once a week; an
occasional feed of bright hay or sorghum
and keep before them accessible at all
times the following mixture: Salt, wood
ashes, charcoal, sulpher, saltpeter and
copperas.
One peck of ashes to pound of salt,
two paunds of copperas to two ounces of
saltpeter, one pound of sulphur to peck
of charcoal, mixed thoroughly, and eighty
hungry hogs will not leave morsel in "a
hours, SO satisfactory is it to them and
such is their want and need of it. Bor-
row money, hold your hogs until after
taxes are paid, and the first time they
come up sell and pay your debts, and we
believe you will run no risk from cholera
and make money. The grert secret of
success is, feed and water regularly in
amount and manner, and keep your hogs
healthy.

DAIRY MAXINS.

When a COW has sore tests, use silver
milking tubes.
1t pays better to raise the heifer calves
than to sell them and buy COWS.
Calves that are intended for raising
should be taken from the cow on the
fourth day.
In the case of kicking COW, the fault
frequently lies with the persons doing the
milking.
Experiments have shown that corn,
ground cob and all, will cause the COWS to
give more and better milk than clear corn
meal.
consequently the production of butter, if
the mich COWS are given water in cold
weather, that has the chill taken from it
by the admixture of a little warm water.
Safely and effectually to dry COW you
must regulate her food, restricting her
mainly to dry food, and withholding root
linseed, and other such articles. Have
her MIXED at increasing long intervals,
first once day and then once In two
days.
The pumpkin is an important auxil
larry in producing milk. Thirty pounds
of pumpkin fed to each COW per day will
increase the yield and improve the quail
ty of the milk; but more than this should
not be given. Remove the seeds before
feeding.
If the COWS have their tanks lined
with manure, as too many of them often
have, you should carry pailful Of hot
water to the barn some warm day, and
wash those TANKS. Soak the manure
we'll, use sponge or rag, before you be-
gin to scrape it off, or all the hair will
come with it.

either to interfere with regular and
swift milking. All talking should be
omitted while drawing the milk from the
COW.
Even under the most favorable condi-
lions, and with the most capable help that
can be secured, dairymen sustain consid-
cradle losses in the possible product of
cows. But when the negligence, temper
and passion of hired help intervene, still
greater losses must be incurred. Cows
should never be veIed or worried by man,
boy or dog. The surroundings of COW
should be such as to make comfortable
and free from any annoyance or excite
meut.

Hints on Milking Cows.
Practical Farmer.


There is no part of the work on the
farm that causes the proprietor greater
trouble and anxiety than the employ
ment of hired help in the milking of his
COWS. This applies with increased force
to extensive dairies. The great bulk Of
the hired help of the day consists Of for
eigners, few of whom ever learned to
milk in their native lands, for the reason
that in those foreign countries milking is
done almost entirely by women. Hence
in many cases the American dairyman Is
forced to break in new hands to the bust
ness.
Milking demands the exercise af gen.
tleness and patience on the part Of the
mixer In order that COW be made
fairly profitable to her owner. it is impcr-
tant that she should be made to feel that
her mixer is her friend, from whom she
has nothing to fear. She should be taught
to anticipate nothing but kind treatment
each and every time he approaches her.
Under such proper conditions the COW
will never get excited, and will be ready
to yield her milk freely and without re-
straint, always presuming the mixers
ability and disposition to draw the fluid
smoothly and rapidly. Unless this is &C
complished she will not yield her full
quantity of milk.
In practice there are many bad work
ers among the hired help who are capable
of doing we'll were it not that they are in
different, work leisurely, stop and talk to
one another or with caller, and finally
spend as much time in milking ono COW
as should be consumed in milking two
animals. Far better that the mixer shOxld
spplv his mind and hand vigorously to
the work before him for the needed time
to milk the COW, then take rest if nsces
sary, and time for talk rather than allow

Care of Livestock in February.
American Apriculkurist for February


Sheep.-Provide warm stables for ewes
near lambing, and see that the lambs are
not chilled. They should have roots rath-
er than grain at this period. Cows
Milk up tolerably close to calving if the
milk is good. If COW goes dry four
weeks it is usually enough. If there Is
danger of milk fever-and there always
is with large and rich milkers-do not
milk out clean, nor let the calf do so, for
fully three days,so long as the colostrum
can be detected in the milk. Poultry
No doubt a we'll managed incubator pays
we'll for Matching hens egg. Good cross
bred fowls are more profitable for market
than full bress. Always use full blood
roosters and gobblers. Ducks and geese
are best bred pure, except, perhaps, when
non-breeding hybrids are desired, cross
ing common ducks with Muscovies and
tame geese with the wild gander.
These are far superior for the table, and
bring proportionately higher price when
known.
